The hunt for a perfect tree...2011

What a difference it was this year!! Our last trip to the Christmas tree farm, it was 25 degrees with winds of at least 20 mph and our visit lasted less than 20 minutes. It was miserable last year!! But this year...wow, it must have been in the mid 50's or even close to 60 degrees and absolutely gorgeous!! A few weeks before we headed up to the tree farm, Reilly found Shawn's walkie-talkies and insisted that we bring them with us to help us on our hunt for the perfect tree. The kids had so much fun playing with those things as we got lost in the trees. Ahhhh..the smell of fresh Christmas trees. Nothing like it! This is one of my favorite traditions :)

Reilly couldn't wait to get that star up on top!!
